Catch-up

Hello everyone! Sorry for such a long delay in our postings lately, as most of you know we moved a few weeks ago so things have been busy. We love our new house and hope everyone gets a chance to come out and see it soon!

Updates: we just finished swimming classes, he loved the pool and didn’t mind putting his face in the water by the end of the class. We hope to start a new swim class or possibly get him into a gymnastics class this summer. He’s talking a ton now – he can put about 3 words together to make some sentences. He loves bossing Shady and Maisy around, we often hear “No NO Shady” or “Move May” (we’re working on manners). Outside is his favorite place to be, when we go inside after playing we often have to endure a fit of anger and lots of pleading…”outside, pwease!”

Overall Carter is adjusting really well to the new house. His room is upstairs and farther away from us but he hasn’t missed a beat with sleeping at night. He also loves going up and down the stairs as many times as possible during the day. He never got the chance to do stairs at our old house so this is a new adventure for him. There are lots of new things to explore and do so he’s quickly helping us toddler-proof this house.

Below are some pictures from a recent visit from Lee and Elsa. They came across on the ferry and we loved having them stay with us! Carter and Elsa were so cute together – they would talk to each other and I think they really picked up on new things by being together. I know Carter is talking a lot more because he heard how much Elsa was talking! He now says “dinner” all the time (a favorite word of Elsa’s) and even though he doesn’t actually want dinner, he still says it when he sees food or his high chair. I was hoping he’d pick up on her good eating as well…maybe next time.
